Full Stack Engineer | Hyper-focused | Startup-oriented | Changing the world with <code />

[email protected] | Github Projects | LinkedIn Profile

The most innovative, versatile and performant engineer you will have on your team. Presenting a strong background in full-stack development, from A to Z — a human that will make your business revenues skyrocket!

Professional Summary

My entire career, I faced a lot of challenges, from which I have learned to become better. The easy route and the hard route lead to the same destination, but I think that the hard route is best, thus this is why I developed my skills.

  • Highly adaptable: looking after challenging projects in the wild, working tirelessly on the final product.
  • Tenacious: Improving along the way, adapting to the fullest in any moment. It doesn't matter the production is down, I will dig up the problem and fix it.
  • Creative: I will come up with a creative way of fixing problems or improving the field I work in.
  • Innovative: Picking up broken things, fixing them, and redesigning the way things are done whenever possible, so the creation process is better next time.
  • Continuous Learning: Like CI/CD, I apply CL to my own brain. The technology can't await, so I must keep up with it. Rapidly learning and implementing new technologies, like LLMs and Generative AI, extending to LangChain, OpenAI APIs, and various LLM models, either open-source or (pre-)trained.
  • Frictionless: Coding with teams keeps me awake, but serving as a self-sufficient "one-man-team" on critical projects? That makes me feel alive!
  • Stack-Agnostic: Proficient in building scalable applications using Laravel, Next.js, Remix, Nuxt, you name it. Worked with pretty much many development stacks, so I can adapt easier and can provide a solution that fits best in any moment. I can glide seamlessly across multiple ways of tackling challenges.
  • Cloud-Agnostic: In the same manner as being Stack-Agnostic, I am also Cloud-Agnostic. I worked with multiple cloud providers, from AWS, Azure and Google Cloud to Hetzner, DigitalOcean and Vultr, to name a few.
  • Role-Agnostic: What do I have to do? Backend? Frontend? Dev(Sec)Ops? Project Management? I can adapt easily, as I said. Wearing many hats can look chaotic, but it is pretty simple for me. It also keeps me away from boredom.

Key Achievements and Technologies

  • Architectured, built and maintained large-scale applications with the help of AWS and Laravel.
  • Built Chatbots and RAG applications for various industries: internal applications, Legal, Finances and Advertising, using tools like LangChain, LlamaIndex, vector databases and trained models.
  • Self-taught myself by getting a hold of the best practices, technical articles, the best tools and the history of trial and error of others, as well as my own experience of facing challenges.
  • Contributed to open-source projects: Laravel packages, Procedural Generation maps, SaaS & Self-hosted platforms. Whenever I had a problem, I would fix it in the public so that others could benefit from it too.
  • Mastered the (hard) way of Kubernetes and containerization architecture at scale, with Azure, AWS and Kubernetes.
